This is pretty awesome.
It makes sense, really.
Why wouldn’t a gamer be better at doing something that was operated by a joystick, right? All those hours of eye-hand coordination has got to do something!
The surgery simulation used in the study resembles a video game booth. It has a two-handed control system and a screen for the user to watch his or her actions in real time. In the study, students and doctors used robotic arms to perform tasks that mimic suturing, passing needles, and lifting surgical instruments. The researchers then measured the subject’s performance in 20 skill areas including precision, steadiness and tension of the subjects’ movements.
Of course, when it comes to on-hands medical care, med students have a level up on the gamers.
Here’s a video showing the robotic surgery device:

Sounds like Google is mastering the art of building up excitement by controlling releases, much like Apple. The next big thing that has people painfully panting is Ingress, a real-world styled MMO which aims to meld the physical world with an imaginary plot.
The brain-child of Niantic Labs reportedly involves a worldwide mind control plot. Since resistance-themed shows are all the rage, it makes sense that players will be allowed to join one of two factions: the Resistance, who fight to retain humanity as-is (or more accurately, as-was), and the Enlightened, who look to leverage the power. Using locales and landmarks as receptacles, people (yes, you and I) use GPS-enabled smartphones to find and gain energy, connect points and tip the scales in favor of their respective factions. The side with the most area connected wins the world.
It’s like geo-caching for Jack Bauer.
